#156 - Sartre: Robert C. Solomon on Existential Philosophy, Responsibility, Sartre's Experience as a POW, Being and Nothingness, No Exit, Phenomenology, Bad Faith, and Why We Are Doomed to Be Free

“This is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as if he were telling a story. But you have to choose: live or tell.” -Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea, 1938.-//-00:00:00 Intro00:00:33 Sartre: Life and WW200:30:33 The Emotions and Responsibility01:00:28 Phenomenology & Consciousness01:30:54 Bad Faith and Inauthenticity02:01:14 Being-for-Others & "No Exit"02:31:14 Love & the Romantic Life-//-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_C._Solomon
